Thank you for sharing. Could you share a little about your parent? How was/is it for you?
“Do what is right, let the consequences follow.” -Truth and Treason
Yes of course!!!
About two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It was pretty bad, she had to go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas (a LONG ways from Montana where we live!) and get some treatment because her cancer was really severe. Mantle Cell Lymphoma alone is very aggressive, and my mom also had the blastoid variation which makes it almost impossible for the cancer to respond to any treatment. I didn’t know how bad things were until it was all over but even from the beginning it was pretty bad.
There were so many times she would get treatment, and the cancer would disappear for a couple weeks, and then completely take over again. Finally after about a year, she went to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota to try to get it under enough control that they could do CAR-T (which basically reengineers your cells to fight cancer cells and is almost guaranteed to work). CAR-T is pretty intense though, and it’s usually a last resort after all other treatment options have failed.
Long story short, CAR-T didn’t work, and the cancer just took over again. My mom ended up passing away shortly after Thanksgiving last year. It was pretty hard, lots and lots of people were praying for her to be healed, and we believe that God could have healed her, but sometimes God doesn’t always answer prayers the way we want.
It’s been a lot of ups and downs. Me, my dad and my two siblings have had a lot of changes and we’re still trusting God for everything!
(Not sure how much you wanted me to share about my story but there’s an overview lol)
If you have more questions about it all or just need to rant about how much cancer sucks, feel free to tag me literally ANYTIME! I’m very open to talking about my story and things with my mom, it’s a way God can use what I went through for good!
If you want to talk about how things are for you I’d love to hear part of your story as well <33 I’ll be praying for you and your family!!!
